Thanks for the advice. I talked to my sons today and they decided to lose some weight. I also talked to my ex-wife and her husband. They said that the boys can eat whatever they want to. (her husband is 5'11" and weighs 607 lbs; my ex-wife is about 5'5" and weighs 402 lbs)

Hello. I have a big problem with my 4 boys. They are all very overweight. I got divorced 3 years ago and my ex-wife got married to a large man. They (ex-wife & new husband) are gaining large amounts of weight and I think it is taking a toll on my kids. My 13 year old is 5'4" and weighs 237 lbs (last year he weighed 180). My 14 year old is 5'5" and weighs 291 lbs (last year he weighed 240). My 21 year old is in college and has put on so much weight. When he left to go to college, he was very thin (140 lbs.) and 6 feet tall. Now he is going to be a senior and weighs 358 lbs! The sad part is about my 16 year old son. He was 14, 5'9", and 150 lbs. When he got his work papers, he got a job at McDonalds. Now, 2 years later, he has put on 160 lbs and looks horrible. They don't even care that they are obese.

My 14 year old son ate a whole gallon of ice cream in one sitting. Their stomachs aren't the least bit muscular and they flab over the top of the pants. I noticed when they first started gaining weight that they had rolls on their stomach when they bent over or sat down. Now they are there all the time! They just walk around the house without shirts on and when I ask them "why aren't you wearing a shirt?" they say "because they are uncomfortable". I am really stressed about my sons and if anyone has any advice, please comment. (by the way, I am 40 and weigh 195 lbs, less than my youngest son) (view less)

I went up to her an hour later and only to find that she had food in her room and was stuffing her face again. Well we talked again and this time i think i got threw to her only that evening something embaressing happenes to her we were sitting in the garden and then calissa broke the chair when she sat in it, she started crying and said she will do anything she can to lose the weight so i hope all goes much better from now on. Sorry i took up so much space but this is the only place where i can tell poeple about my feelings. (view less)

Can anyone tell me how much a 16 year old boy, 5'9, should weigh? Also, how big should his waist be? My son weighs 180 lbs and wears size 36 pants. I know he's overweight, but I'm not sure just how much. If anyone can help I'd appreciate it.

I need help. This has more to do with being a parent then it does about my overwieght daugter. Her name is Elixa, and she is a spoiled brat. I had two girls before her, and even though I am a small, unstrong person, I was a little hard on them to cover for my husand (died shortly after my last daughters birth). Any way, after my 2 oldest joined the army, I went easy on my last daughter, and I let her slip. I dont know what happened, but she became spoiled rotten, and I wasn't able to fix her. She got what she wanted, as much as she wanted, including food. (Click here to see rest of message).

Hello, I want to talk about my very obese daughter named Sara, who is 213. She is the biggest child I have ever seen or known, and she is just getting bigger and bigger, and now she's thirty five inches around the waist. I have tried to put a diet on her, but we've only made small progress. You see, all her life she has stuffed her face with food, and only recently have I tried to stop her and put her on a diet. But I was too late..(Click here to see rest of message).

Hi Everyone! I am new here but so glad I found this site. My son is 9 and 4'9" and weighs 110, actually he weighs 107 now. I just thought I would let you know what we have been doing and hope it helps. Last week when my son finished school I decided it was time to start getting healthy and I discussed this with my son. He seemed happy to make the change so that made it easy. I never really call it a diet, just being healthy. We totally changed the way we eat. We measure out our servings, we choose light and lowfat foods. We also got some weight watchers smartones desserts so that he wouldnt have to give up having treats. He does not dink sugary beverages. He only has 1/2 cup of O.J. with his breakfast. The rest of the day he drinks water and has 3 cups of skim milk a day.

In one week he lost 3 pounds and is still happy to be following a new healthy lifestyle. This weekend we start an excersise program. I think that helping your child to be healthy and lose weight it really has to be something that the family does together and to measure your portions and servings! Hey even I lost a couple pounds! I know how hard it is for children to lose weight and tell them that they cant have certain things when other kids are allowed but we have to be strong. We are only doing what is best for our children. I wish all of you luck and success and if anyone wants me to post some samples of our mealplans I would be happy to do so. Lets keep on supporting each other for our childrens health and happiness!Heather (view less)
